Pretoria National Botanical Garden

　　   Pretoria National Botanical Garden is situated in the eastern part of Pretoria, Gauteng Province, South Africa, 8 kilometers from the city center of Pretoria. Established in 1946, it covers an area of 76 hectares and is one of South Africa’s nine national botanical gardens.

　　   The garden primarily cultivates subtropical and temperate plants, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the rich and diverse flora of the subcontinent. Fifty hectares of the garden are intensively planted with indigenous South African plants, enabling visitors to enjoy not only subtropical and temperate species but also unique local flora. The garden includes sections such as the Cycad Garden, Succulent Garden, and Aloe Garden, where uniquely shaped plants can be found everywhere.

　　   Within Pretoria National Botanical Garden, over 600 species of flowering plants, numerous bird species, and a variety of reptiles and mammals coexist harmoniously. Fifty percent of the trees are native to South Africa. Naturally growing plants thrive in grasslands and densely shrubbed savannas, creating a peaceful and integrated ecosystem.
